i think deleting CDP boundaries that don't make any sense is not
unreasonable.

i've deleted a couple on that basis.

also, the boundary import that brought in the CDPs is kind of out of date;
the census bureau has updated quite a few of them, which i noticed while
cleaning up borders in eastern NY.

they probably shouldn't be in an administrative boundary category anyway,
as they don't have any sort of local governance function.
